Ability to enter custom gcode in the "Pause at layer" dialog.

[miklschmidt]

Requested feature:

Since the macro used for this feature supports custom gcode macros, it would be ideal if the dialog allowed the user to input a custom macro / gcode command instead of only picking between M600 and PAUSE.

This could either be achieved by changing the select box to a combobox/autocomplete which accepts custom text input and suggests M600 / PAUSE by default, or by adding a "Custom" option and showing a text input based on the selection of that item.

Solves the following problem:

• Provides access to existing functionality
• Flexible support for multiple use cases including:
  • Remapping toolheads / filaments at certain layer heights on MMU / IDEX systems after the fact.
  • Turning on/off any aux fans or chamber filter fans
  • Taking pictures
  • Cancelling a print at a certain layer height
  • Calling moonraker agent methods, for example push notifications to come back to the print to watch a tricky part of the process.
  • Reducing or increasing chamber temperature etc. etc.

Additional information:

The idea is to provide ample opportunity for the user to "save a print" if he forgets to add these during slicing, or is printing the same sliced file but needs an escape hatch at a certain layer.

In the future (not a requirement , just extra "icing on the cake" so to speak, the existing functionality already accounts for a vast array of use cases), it could even allow multiple entries, alas that would require changes to the mainsail klipper macros, so i suggest tabling that for now. Added #1945 to track this separately.

Thx for creating the FR.

pls also open a second FR with this feature:

Just when I merge the PR for this FR, this information will be "lost", because the ticket is closed.

@meteyou done! #1945

This is Xulkal on the RatRig discord. I'm available if you need someone to test out these features before landing. Depending on my schedule, I might try implementing this and putting up a pr for review, but not holding my breath this week due to family matters.

hey @XScorpion2!

at the moment i have to finish 2-3 things before i can start with this FR. so i probably won't get to these FR until next week. If you are interested, you are welcome to contribute this FR. i would be very happy about it!
